Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Dawn was getting later and later. Du Yue and the others did not see any light until around noon. Looking at the gradually brightening sky, Xia Ju decided to go out for a walk. Although there was everything in the RV, she still wanted to go out for a breather after staying inside for a long time. She was about to go to the courtyard to exercise. Just as she walked out of the RV, a woman’s pained voice sounded outside. Du Yue also heard this voice. She subconsciously looked out of the window and saw that the woman who had been in ecstasy previously was now in pain.
“Help! Pretty lady! Please save my life! They want to torture me to death! As long as you save my life, I’m willing to do anything for you. I’ll do anything! I don’t eat much either! Really!”
Du Yue looked at the woman’s performance, and five words suddenly appeared in her mind—life is like a play. This woman’s acting was very good, but did she really think that no one could see her enjoying herself earlier? Just as Du Yue was about to leave, she heard Xia Ju say, “Do you recognize this thing?” Xia Ju waved the phone in her hand. “I’ve taken photos of your previous exercise. Do you want to take a look? I looked back just now. You seemed to be enjoying it before. You didn’t feel threatened or tempted by others at all.”
As soon as Xia Ju finished speaking, the miserable woman’s expression suddenly changed. She raised her voice with hatred in her eyes, “I’ve long forgotten that cell phones exist in this world! Ever since the apocalypse, I haven’t been living like a human. I don’t even have enough to eat; I don’t even have a candle. How can 1 remember that there’s still a cell phone in this world?” As she complained, tears flowed down her face.
Xia Ju could not help but applaud her. “Not bad. Although life in the post-apocalyptic world is difficult, it seems that you haven’t given up on practicing your acting skills. When the apocalypse ends, you can go back to acting. The Best Actress Award will definitely be yours. You can do it! I’m very optimistic about your future.”
Du Yue: “???”
Previously, she only felt that the woman’s actions were irritating to her eyes. She only took a quick glance and put down the binoculars. She did not take a closer look at the woman’s face.
Now that she heard Xia Ju say this, Du Yue picked up the binoculars and took a closer look. Only then did she realize that this woman was actually a slightly famous actress. However, she was famous not because of her good acting skills but because she had cheated on her husband and became the mistress of a famous director. After being exposed by the paparazzi, she was instantly cancelled on the internet. Netizens even dug up evidence of her bullying her classmates back in school.
Du Yue pouted at He Xing. “I grew up on the blue planet, but 1 don’t know as many celebrities as Xia Ju, a foreigner. I’m really ashamed of my inferiority!”
From this, it could be seen that Xia Ju had indeed watched a lot of movies and shows since joining them. Otherwise, she would not have known such a mediocre actress. The woman, who was originally very confident, completely changed her expression when she heard Xia Ju’s words. She stared at Xia Ju and secretly gritted her teeth. Those who did not know better would think that she had some deep hatred for Xia Ju. Looking at her ferocious face, Xia Ju could not help but give her a thumbs-up. “If you had displayed such great acting skills in the TV shows, you wouldn’t have had to give yourself to the director to barely get the role of the third female lead. However, it’s good that you’ve improved. Work hard and live on. When the apocalypse ends, you can act again. Your current acting skills are enough to support yourself.”
After Xia Ju finished speaking, she ignored the woman. After moving around in the courtyard for a while, she returned to Du Yue’s RV.
Du Yue smiled and looked at her. “She’s about to die of anger because of you. But why are you suddenly so interested? You said so much to her.”
“Sigh, life is too boring now. It’s not easy to meet a real actor who can act with me. I definitely have to cherish this opportunity.”
Du Yue did not know how to respond to Xia Ju’s words. There were less than three hours left until dawn. If this were in the past, Du Yue and the others would have taken advantage of the daylight to ride their horses. But now that there were people blocking their door, it was impossible to do so. They could only stay in the RV.
Du Yue and He Xing hardly went out. Only Xia Ju could not stand the loneliness and would occasionally go to the courtyard for a walk. She even took on the task of feeding all the small animals just to get some fresh air. As long as Xia Juyi went out, Du Yue could hear her arguing with the people outside. In the beginning, Du Yue would listen very carefully. After the number of quarrels increased, Du Yue lost interest. The days passed quite quickly and noisily..
